Grenada County Court Records

Grenada County court records are documents related to legal proceedings that have been transferred to the court archive for retention and maintenance. The purpose of a court record is to notify the public that a matter has been addressed and resolved. These records typically contain details such as the nature of the dispute, the subject matter, claims, defenses, evidence, rulings on issues, and the final judgment. Criminal case files may also include brief extracts from Grenada County arrest records.

Are Court Records Public in Grenada County?

Access to government records in Grenada County is primarily governed by the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983 (Miss. Code Ann. §§ 25-61-1 et seq.), which provides that government records are public property. However, the judiciary does not fully conform to this Act. Instead, access to court records is guided by the Supreme Court's Statement of Policy Regarding Openness and Availability of Public Records.

According to the policy, while court records are generally public, not all records under the control of the Court are public records, meaning some judicial records are not open to members of the public.
